Glazer is once again the fattest bear. | IFLScience

October 10, 2024

The results of Fat Bear Week are in.

Mama bear Glazer took home the crown of fattest bear for the second consecutive year, beating Chunk in the finals of the Katmai National Park tournament by more than 40,000 votes. At first glance, the two seemed like heavy favorites (pun intended) considering how much larger than everyone else they looked. The two have a real life rivalry as well, as Chunk attacked and killed one of Glazer’s cubs earlier in the year. With that, we and Glazer will dedicate this victory to their memory. 

I had picked Chunk as my favorite at the beginning of the contest with Glazer as his only competition, but I was wrong — as per usual. (Thanks for nothing, Phillies).
